The Slave Trade

All of  you [soldiers], are summoned    .   .   .   to  hunt    the idolatrous  Koholanes   [a  pejorative  word    for

“black  Africans”]. .   .   .   The soldiery    divided themselves  into    two companies   .   .   .   with    orders  to  attack

places  without defenses    and to  carry   off the inhabitants as  well    as  seizing all peasants    busy

cultivating their   fields. .   .   .   Whilst  waiting for the return  of  the companies   despatched  to  hunt

Negroes,    we  went    every   day to  the slave   market  where   we  bought  at  the following   prices:

A   Negro   with    beard..................10   or  15,000  cowries.

They    are not considered  as  merchandise since   one has little  chance  of  preventing  them    from

escaping.

An  adult   Negress....................10   or  15,000  cowries for the same    reasons

An  adolescent  Negro......................30,000   cowries

A   young   Negress ........................50–60,000   cowries
